FireFit Annual Conference Bristol 2006
Hosted by Avon Fire and Rescue Service.



The Bristol Royal Marriot Hotel, Bristol over Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th June 2006.



This years Conference theme is:

Managing Attendance - the physical and physiosocial challenge.

This years FireFit conference is being hosted by Avon Fire and Rescue Service at the Bristol Royal Marriot Hotel. In the centre of the beautiful city of Bristol.

The theme of this year's conference is based on the very topical Performance Management issue of Attendance Management and will attempt to address the many different considerations organisations need to contemplate in pursuing reductions in absenteeism and managing injury and sickness.

A wide range of speakers have been assembled to look at the different aspects of health and fitness and the impact a holistic approach can have on workforce motivation and welfare management.

The appeal of such a topic has I feel a wide target audience. I believe that principle officers, senior managers, human resource managers, equality advisors, service medical advisors, occupational health officers and advisors as well as fitness advisors and instructors would all find the the conference of particular interest and assistance.

Finding the right tools to tackle improvements in Performance Management is something I believe we all see a value in. This years conference will see an interesting array of techniques and protocols that will I'm sure improve any organisations approach to managing attendance.
